David Hingtgen Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Never tried it on acrylic, but I use Novus #2 on both ABS and Polycarbonate. Quote
Boobytrap Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Since it is acrylic another option is to use a butane torch. I've done it many times. It is great for eliminating rough cut edges, bubbles, or small scratches. Crystal clear every time. Just start at a low flame and work your way up being sure that it is just off the surface and not in direct contact. I use about a medium flame but I've done it enough that I know the sweet spot for me. The goal is to melt it just enough that gravity fills in all the blemishes but not so much that it turns to goo (this would be hard to do with the low temps these torches get to). It may sound scary for the first time but it is an easy process and the material is pretty forgiving (especially since these are thick) so you don't have to be perfect. If you're still feeling hesitant you can always try it out first on a cheap piece from Home Depot or wherever. Tap some divots make some scratches and you'll figure it out real quick. Quote

Radioguy Posted Monday at 06:05 AM Posted Monday at 06:05 AM Well, this was my first order, and while I had wanted Archi Pro stands for a long time, the UN Spacy eyecandy was too much to resist, and why I felt bad when they sold out before. I have never had Yeti stands, nor Archi Pro stands before, so the UN Spacy one will be my first experience. For those who have both, are the UN Spacy ones as versatile, or will I be looking to upgrade to Archi Pro stands one day? Quote
Radioguy Posted Monday at 06:10 AM Posted Monday at 06:10 AM Damn. I see in the email only one DX B adapter went through (Really did click for two, and one Arcadia). No chance on adding one more to the same order? Quote

UN Spacy is rather for your display prowess ^^ Quote
Lolicon Posted Monday at 02:18 PM Posted Monday at 02:18 PM Pro stands already sold out? Been refreshing periodically since last night and they all say sold out. Quote

It really boils down to one's preference. While some like putting 1 valk per stand, others do prefer that sortie look so pro series work much better. Hope that helps. Quote

Ok, I had expected that it couldn't hold as many due to the position of the arm connection to the base, but wondered if there were other differences. I do have a 1/60 Arcadia Max & Milia PF that I would probably pose on a Pro stand. I hope to grab one of those before long. Quote
Sandman Posted Monday at 10:52 PM Posted Monday at 10:52 PM So why are the un spacy stands not being offered anymore? Quote

BroTaku79 Posted Wednesday at 04:20 AM Posted Wednesday at 04:20 AM For those that missed out on UN Spacy, another limited edition is in the works. Skull Squadron will likely be the next man up. Quote

Make the base so you can open the bottom and insert a circular image card... Suddenly the base can be used for anything. The image cards can be manufactured for next to nothing. Charge a premium. Profit. Just don't charge so much that people just etsy or make their own. Done right, your market would expand exponentially. If you do this and it's a smash hit please remember me st Christmas or on my birthday :P. Quote

I also don't make the stands, it is the supplier out in Korea that makes them. I will let him know about your idea though. Thanks! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM Considering how many Frontier DX valks are out there, I think an SMS-logo one could be nice (even though Bandai has already done their own version) Quote
